Hi Benoit,

I am sorry you have to stop working on open source projects.
Perhaps you can still work on some at home. (That's what I did when I worked at
Thomson because anyway I had no Internet connection there.)
Another way is to change job, and work in a free software company, that's what
I did too...

Good Luck,
